Language Awareness Expands Possibilities

This episode welcomes Jennifer Carson and Casey Venturini with the DEER project (The Dementia Engagement, Education, and Research Program) from the School of Public Health, University of Nevada, Reno. Tune in to hear about how language shapes our thinking, our actions, and our worlds and how that impacts the lives of people living with dementia. Language has the power to open and close doors whether it is spoken, written, or just thought. Words have the power to create positive disruption and reshape a person’s life experience. Language is constantly evolving and changing. It is through shared exploration that we find the language that makes a difference today.
